Capt.Castafly Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 The fish blog was created as a common communal gathering place to share and report weekly fishing activity. Having this information in one thread benefits those who greatly use this RI forum and ply our local waters. The premise is to gather all weekly reports into one common portal, thus making it easy to access, view and add your own fish reports and comments. This is the sixth year for this unique approach. Post your success or skunks, either way, black or white, zero to hero, let us all share this information. Fresh, factual information is one of the best sources of Intel we have at our disposal to predict what may happen tomorrow. Looks like the week ahead is going to be cold, damp, and windy. Can you believe the heat still goes on in June? How weird is New England weather, one day the AC is on, the next day, heat. No wonder the fish and the environment is so off balance. Nothing flies by me without a hook! If my fly is down, That's a good thing. Public Access.....It's a shore thing. My daily requirement of "Vitamin Sea". Capt.

bdowning Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 This weather is whacked. Fish still around but it's slowed to a crawl the last few days. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIsurfing&fishing Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Found a large body of actively-feeding but extremely picky fish ranging from young-of-the-year sized to 28-29" yesterday evening. Threw several offerings on their heads without a sniff. They finally started cooperating a little more when i clipped on a bucktail. All fish caught had sea lice on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimKu Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Last night around 6 I decided to try one of my backwater spots which has been slow the past few outings. Glad I forced myself to give it a shot. First cast fish on. Steady fish for the next hour. Mostly on smack it jr. Tried a couple of other offerings but they weren't producing. All bass around 24" give or take. Current was ripping and coming in fast with the full moon. I saw a couple of things swimming past me at one point. At first I thought they were small seals but they were definitely not. Too me they looked like otters. They were at least 2ft long. There were two or three of them. First time I've seen something like that in that location.

Zeek Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Really active fish on the surface last night but not going for much. Spent a couple hours and walked away with a couple decent ones. Couldn’t see what they were on but my guess was small surface baits.. couple guys came and left without any to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a cross between a ferret and an otter, swims like a fish and yelps like a fox. Edited June 5 by pittedsopitted Thought fox, wrote deer. Oops.

JimKu Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I didn’t think fisher cats could swim. But if they do what I saw could have been fishers. These things were swimming great with a good current. I assuming either River otter or fisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelheadJoe Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Last Thursday, in the morning, water temp where I fished was 69. Yesterday same spot, closer to 60-62. That much of a water temp drop slows the metabolism of the fish and does shutdown the bite. We found blues with bass under them last Thursday and caught fish on small poppers and jig heads with rubber fish and streamer flies on the fly rod. The fish were pushing bait all over this area of bay. Big blues were cruising just below the surface. What is with the weird weather and bad air quality from Canadian wildfires? I cannot ever remember a time in New England when Canadian wildfires impacted conditions to the extent they have recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelheadJoe Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Exactly brother! So, I would assume WEF sponsored "Justin Trudeau" of Canada is doing no better at forestry management than "Gavin Newsome" is doing in Cali. Good ole Gavin caused the homeowner insurance companies to leave after year after year fires. It teaches us, leftist scorched earth policies take things in a direction not beneficial to all. linesiderdemdnj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurfMoon Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Beachfront fishing has had stripes breaking water in front of me this past week- chewing on SP minnows. Fun under and mid slot sized fish. Had fun surfing a southern outcrop with big stripers exploding in the takeoff area pre full moon. Boat- pogie pods still hard to find. Few and far between. Livelining in mt hope bay produced some good over slots and many slot fish. Ospreys predating on our bunker proved to be menacing and had several stolen- fortunately no hooks in the ospreys talons. East passage and upper bay found some larger pods of pogies getting slammed by blues and stripers-only first or second real concentrated feed on pogie schools I’ve seen this year. Finally A question for you folks. A fishing buddy had an 40”+striper have its tail bitten off on the way in. Pics of the fish and measurements still had about 35-7” left-any thoughts on the predator XL blue? Shark? This was way up in a bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Was it night time? If so, I would say shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
